If towing is necessary, we recommend
you to have it done by your Toyota
dealer or a commercial tow truck ser-
vice.
If a towing service is not available in
an emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed by a cable or chain
secured to either the emergency towing
eyelet
∗
on the front of the vehicle or
the right emergency towing eyelet
∗
on
the rear of the vehicle. Use extreme
caution when towing vehicles.
NOTICE
Only use specified towing eyelet;
otherwise your vehicle may be dam-
aged.
A driver must be in the vehicle to steer
it and operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done only
on hard- surfaced roads for a short dis-
tance and at low speeds. Also, the
wheels, axles, drive train, steering and
brakes must all be in good condition.
∗
: Eyelet
The eyelet is stored in the luggage space
with the jack handle.
To install: Remove the cover of eyelet and
firmly install it as shown in the illustration.
CAUTION
Use extreme caution when towing a
vehicle. Avoid sudden starts or er-
ratic driving maneuvers which
would place excessive stress on the
emergency towing eyelets and tow-
ing cable or chain. The eyelets and
towing cable or chain may break
and cause serious injury or dam-
age.
When installing the eyelet on the
vehicle, be sure to tighten the eye-
let securely. If the tightening is
loose, it may come off when being
towed and result in death or seri-
ous injury.
